Following a brief social media hiatus, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) superstar Conor McGregor (37) posted that he met Jesus while undergoing ibogaine treatment.
According to the Addiction Center, ibogaine is “a plant-derived compound used for its psychoactive effects. It is currently being studied for its potential in treating substance use disorders.”
“Ibogaine causes hallucinations and vivid dreams,” says the center. “It may have a positive effect on substance cravings by acting on several receptors in the brain.”
Throughout his fighting career, McGregor, who is nicknamed “Notorious,” has been known as one of the most arrogant, brash, charismatic, passionate, trash-talking fighters the sport has ever experienced.
In fact, the fighter’s trash-talking resulted in him being involved in one of the UFC’s ugliest post-fight incidents that unfolded after his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 on Oct. 6, 2018. Nurmagomedov defended his post-fight brawl by stating McGregor overstepped the line with his trash-talk. Nurmagomedov said that what McGregor said about Nurmagomedov’s religion, country, and father went to far.
During a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) press conference in Italy on Oct. 23, McGregor, who is a part owner of the promotion, shared that he is now living by “God’s Word.”
